Summary "The Vitamine Manual" by Walter H. Eddy is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. The book aims to present essential data about vitamins, exploring their production, identification, and role in nutrition, catering both to students of physiological chemistry and the general public. The opening of the book introduces the significance of vitamins, beginning with the historical context of their discovery, notably by Casimir Funk in 1911. It discusses the urgent need for concise information in light of the overwhelming body of research on vitamins, especially their implications for human health and nutrition. Eddy summarizes early investigations into vitamins linked to diseases like beri-beri and emphasizes the importance of vitamins in reforming nutritional concepts, outlining the foundational research that led to the acceptance of vitamins as necessary dietary components. The initial chapters outline various experiments and observations that contributed to current understandings of vitamins, highlighting key figures and their contributions to the scientific community.
